Kawhi Leonard’s 41-point afternoon just part of his evolution with Raptors

There is a common theme to almost any discussion with Toronto Raptors coach Nick Nurse when the subject of Kawhi Leonard comes up.

Yes, the coach says, Leonard is an extraordinary talent having an exceptional year, yet Nurse is always hinting that there’s a bit more Leonard could be providing. His comfort level with his teammates and his role are ever evolving and ever improving, but there’s still another level to go.

And then Leonard goes out and has another crazy good game, making plays and reads and shots and defensive plays he hasn’t made before and you think, yep, Nurse might be on to something.
